Nudity on miniatures...
It is art - anything goes (yay slaanesh)
It is art but keep it tasteful
Nudity is ok but nothing sexual
Young people play, keep it PG13 or below
There is a time and a place for boobies and wargaming is not it
Everybody should be wearing full suits of armour at all times

I think anything should go. I don't really care. draw super nipples on your female figs and giant wangs on your SM for all I care. They're your figs do what you want with them. The problem is that the TO may not agree with that.

As long as it's tasteful I don't have a problem with it.

I'd say chests are fine, but anything beyond that is a bit off, for me at least. If I want more than that, I'll go talk to my wife.

Nudity is fine, but don't have them doing anything sexually explicit. I understand it is art, but great artists knew how to do it tastefuly.

Unfortunately the number of miniature models I would LIKE to see without clothes are, shall we say, minimal? Also, what the hell?

One of the most hillarious Conversions i have ever seen is a butt nekkid orc shaman showing his jibblies to the world.

Spent a while laughing at that mini.

I think nudity is fine in the wargaming world. Harpies for example, they are feral flying beast women.... I also doubt anyone will get stiff from those....

It needs to be realistic tho, a topless model with a 2+ armor save.... just no.

Of course, if you like the game, enjoy the hobby, and you like doing it with your kids.... especially if you've invested money in a product that's already been marketed in a 'clean' way, you're not exactly hoping for your kid to show up at a tourney and face 'Slaanesh's Boobies Brigade.'

As the poll describes, there is a time and place for boobies. And this is not it. :p They're preferred, however, at the afterparty.

Started wargaming with heroscape. Who says kids can't be generals?

I never understood why parents flip out about this kind of stuff, it isn't graphic, it's not a strip club it's just plastic, metal and or putty. I for one would be more upset at my kid if they acted in an inappropriate manner at the site of something like a "fleshy" toy model.

Mr. SD likes but does not own any Daemonettes...
I don't think it's that out of line, we have armies that slaughter to feed their hedonistic gods and urges (DE) or to murder and massacre just for giggles (orks) and just because they're mad (Khorne) so I think showing some skin is not that...bad..really.

think of, in italy you have statues of naked men everywhere, so why not have it on miniatures if they are posed in a, lets say, non obscene way.

I do have to agree with Mr. SD...most people do paint their models sensibly a few go to the extreme but it is few and far between. I mean if you think about it is a gorefest army of berserkers covered in blood and having entrails dangling from there chain swords any better then a tit hanging out?

anyone else think this looks like an upside down Marathon symbol?....classic

I've been playing since I was very young and even owned some of the Deamonettes. Seriously if a kid is mature enough to handle this game he's mature enough to handle some nudity here and there.

It's ok; it's the game makers responsibility to put out a tasteful product, but it's also the parents responsibility to be involved with their kids and help them make good decisions.

I've nothing wrong with nudity itself. That said, I'm not exactly confident in the average game or gamer to be doing for reasons other than tacky fanservice. At least human nudity anyway.

So long as the model(s) in question do not have anything else wrong...the degree to which a model is naked is okay by me.

well more children have begun playing 40k than in the past, and gw know this, hence why the recent daemonettes had their multiple breasts covered up. on the old models there was virtually nothing there.

Couldn't care less if there was nudity. I think there should be more nudity. The world needs more nudity. Nudity for President!

Mandorallen turned back toward the insolently sneering baron. 'My Lord,' The great knight said distantly, 'I find thy face apelike and thy form misshapen. Thy beard, moreover, is an offence against decency, resembling more closely the scabrous fur which doth decorate the hinder portion of a mongrel dog than a proper adornment for a human face. Is it possibly that thy mother, seized by some wild lechery, did dally at some time past with a randy goat?' - Mimbrate Knight Protector Mandorallen.
